Strategies and tactics that support this principle are built on knowledge that nature makes cities more resilient. A WILD City will thus: a. Document and overtly value nature benefits (e.g. clean air and water, sustenance, aesthetics) from outside the city confines, and how nature mitigates climate change impacts on cities b. Create and preserve natural boundaries and habitat corridors allowing species to successfully migrate c. Prevent damaging pollution “downstream” and “downwind” from the city and ways cities negatively impact the watershed and greater bioregion d. Recognize and act to protect nature’s role in the productivity of farms and fisheries
